Alaska

We can turn it into "The People Should Own Alaska"-and, perhaps, even push for state ownership and control of oil production(with the wells under, ultimately, the democratic management of the workers). It's an ambituous objective, but this is a state where people respond to big ideas, ideas that can be easily explained, and ideas that make them feel connected and involved with what's happening.

We could also push for using oil revenues(as has never been done so far, to my knowledge)to underwrite the creation of a sustainable economy for the state...an economy that wasn't tied to boom and bust or to the expendable and finite.

It's a time to dream big...because that's the only way to wake this party and this state up.
